As a Transformational Executive Coach for healthcare professionals, Andrea has found that people do not work for a job but for a purpose - the patient. The foundation of leadership is self-awareness. This is essential to learn and practice in order to build trust and create an environment of dignity and respect for the patient, their family and the healthcare professionals serving them. Awareness also encompasses others and the system. When there is a breakdown in the system the patient is not being cared for effectively and a breakdown in trust occurs. Building trust, being aware of how you manage yourself and others, the energy you bring to work and how you communicate will create a more caring and effective healthcare system which benefits the patient and their families. Trust is key in developing and fostering relationships with others. As a coach Andrea co-creates with the client the transformation to lead with their head and heart.
